Imagine if marketers could tell things about you just by the sound f your voice? Well, it is not only possible, it is being done right now! Your voice can reveal your age, height, socio-economic status, ethnicity – all sorts of things. And marketers use it to sell you things. But that is just the tip of the iceberg according to Joseph Turow Professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication and author of the book The Voice Catchers: How Marketers Listen In to Exploit Your Feelings, Your Privacy, and Your Wallet (https://amzn.to/3YgUGJH) If you are concerned about your privacy, you should listen to what Joseph has to say. 

Can you be sick and healthy at the same time? Actually, yes you can if you adapt to your illness.

Tamen joins me to explore what it really means to be healthy and how we can adapt to illness to improve the quality of life no matter what health issues you face.
